Any ideas what the timescales are on Okeke and Bamba?

Interested to see how effective Turner is going to be protecting the rim with a fractured hand. I think Orlando will be just fine against their frontcourt but I do see us struggling against their guards. They have been struggling shooting the 3 this season but I'm sure they will bust out of their slump against us lol.

Very interested to see how the Magic respond after that buzzer beater brilliance by Cole. Stuff like that can spark confidence across the team.

AG on fire scoring all 11 for the Magic to start the game.

Red hot start for AG, spacing so much better with Evan as a genuine outside threat there. Cole had so much space on that drive and easy kick to AG

I guess that's an acceptable start by AG.

It's a layup line basically for the Pacers. Our perimeter defense is non existent.

I'm not interested in watching Vuc and Fournier go for 48fgas again this game. Let's get Cole a few more shots - he earned them.

Wish Vuc would actually use his body more when it comes to rebounding. He does not consistently box his man out.
